Isn't it amazing how hanging out with an interesting mix of friends can make you evaluate your life and who you are? I agree — navigating change is one of the most important things we can do in life. We

As they say, "there is a lot to unpack here." I'll be honest that I'm a bit of a Pollyanna. (For the uninitiated, that is a person who is an optimist at heart.) What this means, in practice,

Wow, these photos are amazing. I love the sweet and thoughtful expressions of the monkeys. For some of these (like the individual monkeys) I think I like the black and white better. For the group pictures,
